      Question

      β€˜A’ is 100% more efficient than β€˜C’, while

      β€˜B’ is 200% more efficient than β€˜A’. Together, they complete a task in 15 days. After β€˜A’ and β€˜C’ work for 9 days, they stop. How long will β€˜B’ take to finish the remaining work?
      A 6 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 9 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 12 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 15 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 18 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let efficiency of β€˜C’ = x units/day
      Efficiency of β€˜A’ = 2x units/day
      Efficiency of β€˜B’ = 3 Γ— 2x = 6x units/day Total work = (2x + 6x + x) Γ— 15
      = 9x Γ— 15 = 135x units Work done by β€˜A’ and β€˜C’ in 9 days = (2x + x) Γ— 9 = 3x Γ— 9 = 27x units Remaining work = 135x – 27x = 108x units Time required by β€˜B’ = 108x / 6x = 18 days
